Project: 134-03 35th Avenue

Quote:

The finished building will host 134 condos, 206 hotel rooms, a restaurant, six retail spaces, and a “community club.” The hotel will occupy the first five floors, and 102,647 square feet of apartments will be stacked on top. Average units will measure roughly 760 square feet. That’s usually too small for condos, but little units are ideal for Chinese residents who value owning their homes and don’t want to pay millions to buy.

The hotel portion will occupy 86,250 square feet, and 18,000 square feet on the ground floor will be devoted to the community facility. The lower floors will include a slew of amenities, including a gym, laundry, storage, as well as spaces needed for a hotel, like locker rooms for hotel staff.

And a parking garage large enough for 223 cars will take up the bottom two floors of the cellars. As we’ve come to expect in Flushing, the developer has chosen to build a much larger garage than the city requires. The 7 train and the LIRR are only a 15 minute walk away at Main Street in downtown Flushing, which usually means parking is less of an issue. But drivers who commute to the neighborhood from more suburban areas of Queens and Long Island put pressure on developers to build huge parking garages here.

Project Update: 24-16 Queens Plaza South

Original Post: http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...&postcount=964

Quote:

Greystone Development is tackling its first project in Long Island City, Queens.

The real estate investment firm purchased a five-story office building at 24-16 Queens Plaza South for $23 million with plans to redevelop the property into a 100,000-square-foot residential rental tower. Greystone plans to preserve the existing building at the site and add 18 stories on top of the property, according to Jeffrey Simpson, who heads Greystone Development.

"We like the existing building," Simpson said. "It maintains the character of Long Island City, and we think it's nice to have a project that offers a link between the neighborhood's heritage below and a modern structure above."

Greystone also announced that it secured a construction loan from Santander Bank for about $39 million. Lenders generally extend up to 60% of a project's development cost, suggesting that Greystone plans to spend a total of around $65 million on the tower, but Simpson would not confirm the project's costs.

Project: 63-98 Wetherole Street

Quote:

Rego Park has one of the strongest rental markets in central and eastern Queens, and developers are finally starting to take notice. Last week, YIMBY spotted plans for a 12-story, mixed-use building at 63-98 Wetherole Street, a couple blocks south of Queens Boulevard.

The development would replace two attached brick houses between 63rd Drive and 64th Road. The building would have 28 apartments across 20,889 square feet, creating average units that measure 746 square feet.

There would be a 6,100-square-foot daycare in the cellar and first floor, followed by a mezzanine level for the daycare and an outdoor terrace on the second floor. Apartments would start on the third story, and most floors would include four units apiece. Several apartments would be duplexes.

An eight-car garage would occupy the lowest level of the basement, which offers enough parking to satisfy the city’s requirements. But residents likely won’t need cars, because there are grocery stores, shops, and a library around the corner on 63rd Drive. Plus, the 63rd Drive-Rego Park stop on the M and R trains is only a few blocks away.

Normally I post just developments and updates, but I found this gif pretty neat.

The coming LIC skyline:

You can see many lots in demo/foundation before it shifts to the projected view.

Project: 1790 Third Avenue

Oversized Rendering: http://www.6sqft.com/wp-content/uplo...zen-Samton.jpg

Quote:

Here’s our first look at the IBI Group-Gruzen Samton-designed building that will bring some 95 new rentals to the block, where it will be the tallest structure, rising 13 stories and encompassing 48,377 gross square feet of space.

The rather austere design features a gunmetal-grey facade, a single setback at the ninth floor, and south-facing lot-line windows that are allowed because the developers secured the adjacent building’s air rights. According to the approved permits, there will be an ambulatory facility and commercial retail space at the ground floor, and residential amenities will include a roof deck and bike storage. Some upper floor units will have views overlooking the tree-filled Cherry Hill Playground, the recently rehabilitated El Barrio’s Artspace PS109, and the East River.

^^^ I'm a huge fan of vertical windows like those. Looks great.

Project: 570 Broome Street

Note: This is being planned right by 555 Broome Street which is the two tower Renzo development.

Quote:

The rendering posted on the project site’s construction fence shows a smart design of staggered setbacks and window groupings that offer an interesting solution to the area’s tightly prescribed building envelopes. Designed by Tahir Demircioglu, builtd‘s facade is composed of a warm stone that clads both the lot-line walls and frames three-story high expanses of glass.

Building plans were approved earlier this year and detail a 60,000 square foot building containing 33 large condominium residences. The owner of the site is listed as SoHo Broome Condos LLC who is suspected to be the Agime Group and their affiliate company, KSK Construction Group. According to The Real Deal, Agime purchased the lots for $31 million in 2014.

I can attest that most of those LIC towers are out of the ground. The LIC skyline is going to be bonkers in 3 - 5 years.

I believe that is the lot in question.

It's a nice looking building, but it's a shame about the blank wall that faces the small park next door. It's not as if anything will ever be built on that side.

Project: 301 West 53rd Street (Conversion/Renovation)

Quote:

The property, built in 1979, is currently undergoing the conversion. The residential units will come in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, and YIMBY can now reveal the project’s 16,000 square feet of amenities. They include a marble-cladded lobby, an outdoor dog park, a landscaped rooftop terrace designed by Terrain, a library, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and another outdoor terrace on the second floor. The interiors are being designed by BP Architects and the building is being redubbed Fifty Third and Eighth (previously The Metro). The building currently contains 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
